The Trios

The four main rooms contain beautiful mosaics relating to that which is most sacred and precious to Delos followers: the sea, the theater, the festival of Dionysus and the birth of Apollo and Artemis.

INSIDE HOUSE OF MASKS

Dionysus is known as a patron to the arts. In part, this is because the first Greek plays were performed at the Festival of Dionysus. This was the time in the Spring when the grape leaves began to reappear on the vines which had been harshly cut back the year before. For this reason Dionysus and wine are often associated with rebirth.
